Something else to think about the RC that you and your daughter should consider. The university I advise at has a program very much like this and the students all like the idea of it coming in as freshmen. The parents all seem to want their kids to live on campus so they are moving to a system that would require all freshmen to live on campus and give them housing in these types of residential or learning communities if requested. The idea is small college group within larger campus. The problem comes up in the second year or even the second semester of the LC. Change your major or change your mind about your career focus and you can't schedule your classes to keep even one or two still with the other LC students you started with. The kids in the Honors College - that has preferred space in particular dorms and smaller class sizes, seems to do a better job of building the type of communities that are the idealized RC.
